"Vegetables and boneless meats" it says here...

Brisket flat, sous vide @ 145°F/34 hours then a couple hours around 170° F with apple wood in the cheap ass Walmart water smoker, sliced nice and thin. I like this nakiri more and more.

Nice! What's that handle made from out of interest? Looks remarkably like a couple I made for a friend of mine a last week. One for a nakiri, one for a cai dao.

His knives are tamahagane and are impossible to get. I had a chance to get one on eBay, but declined - that was a large Gyuto, but the owner said it was more for art than performance - I like to use my knives.

In hindsight, after seeing this, I wish i would have got it!
 
Hello @nakiriknaifuwaifu! I'm also a huge fan of my nakiri. Posting mine here if that's ok.

Masakage Koishi 165mm. It's 182g so not a heavyweight, but it feels solid for the size. I think the height helps too. I'm almost certain my next knife will be a bigger one (The 180mm Toyama is calling!).

(Is it worth starting a dedicated Nakiri pics/discussion thread somewhere, or keep this one rolling?)

Keep it rolling man!

By the way, I think I remember this knife! Were you the person who posted on reddit who had a custom tall masakage koishi minus the kurouchi?

In any case, it looks real great. What are your favorite things to use it for?

You heard the 180 Toyama calling? It heard your cry too - on available at JNS - both 210 and 180 - get them while they last 😊

RB I still get sad about missing the deal on your Toyama. Should have at least did a catch-and-release to try it out. I have a TF Toucou Denka now though, so :p You win some, lose some I guess
 
That’s what makes this game fun😊

I sold that Toyama way below price point - not that it makes you feel any better😊

I forgot to post in the nakiri thread. It was kinda sharp already, but I wanted to play. I used a King 1k and a Shapton 1500. It got sharper and the blade road smoothed out. It originally felt like sandpaper. It went through a sweet potato pretty nice, but also confirmed my desire for greater length. For me being correct handed, the D handle(my first) felt really nice.
It’s my crappiest KU(Moritaka Dao Vua), but nicest cutting experience in a nakiri.
